👩🍳 Instructions:

Prepare the Nori:
- Toast the nori by waving it over a flame until it stiffens slightly, ensuring not to burn it. Crumble into little pieces and set aside.

Sauce Creation:
- Combine catsup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, sake, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Simmer for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Batter Preparation:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add flour and water, continuing to beat until a pancake batter consistency is achieved.
- Add additional sake and salt.
- Fold in cabbage, carrots, and scallions, ensuring an even mixture. Each okonomiyaki will use 1/4 of this batter.

Cooking Okonomiyaki:
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a 10-inch skillet. Spoon 1/4 of the batter onto the hot skillet, distributing vegetables evenly.
- Sprinkle 1/4 of shrimp or preferred meat on top.
- Cook each side on medium heat for 2 minutes until lightly browned. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
